Catastrophic misinterpretations
Catastrophic misinterpretations
This model of panic disorder suggests that panic attacks occur because certain bodily sensations are misinterpreted as indicating a catastrophe
What is the cognitive model of panic disorder?
Sharon is a 25-year-old female who was seeking treatment for a dog phobia. she recently quit her recreational soccer league because her teammates regularly brought their dogs to games and practices. Quitting her soccer team is an example of this type of behavior.
What is a situational avoidance behavior
During a panic attack, some people believe they are (list 2)
What is going crazy, lose control, nervous collapse, heart attack, seizure, suffocation
Although symptom reduction is important, the overarching goal of psychological treatments are these two things, generally
What are improving functioning and quality of life
Bard College was founded in March of this year in the 19th century
What is 1860
This study used this type of experimental design to examine how a change in misinterpretations of bodily sensations over treatment predicts later reductions in a variety of measures tied to panic.
What is a repeated measures design
In this model, a neutral stimulus (the conditional stimulus, CS) is followed by an aversive stimulus (the unconditional stimulus, US). After a number of such pairings, the neutral CS will come to elicit anticipatory fear reactions (or a conditional response, CR)
What is the Pavlovian conditioning model
Unlike ___, ___ is the normal protective response when the danger or threat is more immediate
What is anxiety, what is panic
Precursors to contemporary exposure include flooding and implosive therapy. Both flooding and implosive therapies derive from this principle, in which the repetition of the feared stimulus in the absence of the feared consequence and any escape or avoidance behaviors result in the reduction of fear.
What is extinction
The Bard in Bard College was derived from the last name of this man
Who is John Bard
Changes in catastrophic misinterpretations and changes in affect are expected to be this type of relationship
What is bidirectional
During exposure therapy, the goal is to enhance this type of learning
What is inhibitory learning
One major risk factor for anxiety disorders is the fear of the anxiety and panic which is often referred to as this phrase
What is fear of fear
The reading talked through these three exposure practice modalities
What is imaginative, situational, & interoceptive

therapists’ goals to treat in the cognitive model of panic disorder (2)
What is facilitating cognitive change in their patients and alleviating panic symptoms
In exposure therapy, if the surrounding context is changed between extinction and retest, this can occur
What is the renewal of conditional fear
Anxiety and panic manifest themselves through three separate systems. These three systems are called
What is the physical system, cognitive or emotional system, and behavioral system
When structuring exposure therapy, the therapist asks the patient to be BRAVE, Brave is an acronym standing for these 5 things
(more for more points!) 100 for each! unless another team can get it all!
(1) the patient deliberately brings on the anxiety by fully engaging with the feared situation or stimuli, (2) the patient intentionally responds differently to the signal of anxiety, (3) repeated—a lot of times, (4) in a variety of contexts, (5) evaluate the evidence they gather from each exposure exercise and whether it supports or refutes their threat appraisal
Bard College has roughly this many undergraduate students
What is 1800
Changes in catastrophic misinterpretations predicted subsequent reductions in these four things regarding panic attacks (4)
What are overall symptom severity, panic attack frequency, distress/apprehension, and avoidance behavior
There are many therapeutic strategies for enhancing inhibitory learning and its retrieval, list and describe 3
What is: Expectancy Violation, Deepened Extinction, Occasional Reinforced Extinction, Removal of Safety Signals, Variability, Retrieval Cues, Multiple Contexts, Reconsolidation
Physical sensations in themselves are not sufficient to bring about an alarm reaction. For instance, experiencing an uncomfortable or unexpected bodily sensation such as tingling or numbness in one's fingers does not automatically produce a full-blown panic attack. The second necessary ingredient for an alarm (anxiety or panic) to occur is this
What is the perception that the bodily reaction or reactions are harmful or dangerous
The basic theory underlying cognitive-behavioral interventions is that there is dysfunctional thinking and maladaptive behavior common to psychiatric disturbances and realistic evaluation and modification of these thoughts and behaviors can lead to desired symptom reduction. The following five psychological biases, among others, are thought to be the main types of dysfunctional thinking that maintain fear-based disorders and thus are the main targets in their treatment. List and describe more for more points! 100 for each! Unless another team can get them all!
Likelihood bias or the belief that a feared outcome is more likely to occur than in actuality
Cost bias or the belief that the cost of a feared outcome, should it occur is much higher than in actuality
False safety behaviors or the belief that false safety behaviors are necessary to reduce anxiety or prevent catastrophe
Intolerability bias or the belief that anxiety is dangerous or intolerable, not just unpleasant
Function bias or the belief that one is unable to function in daily life while experiencing anxiety
